Studies on the effect of laminate configuration on the properties of glass fiberreinforced plastics (GFRPs) are carried out. The GFRP-laminated composites are prepared by a hand lay-up technique. Five types of laminate configurations are prepared, and the correlation between different laminate configurations and the end physical and flexural properties are analyzed. In this present study, the effect of water absorption on the flexural properties of GFRP composites is examined. As a result, it is found that the properties of GFRPs are governed by the laminate configurations of the laminate system, which further influence the properties of GFRPs after the water absorption test.

Key Words: laminate configuration • mixed laminated composites • GFRP composites
